THE Texas Press Association meets
at Fort Worth next Tuesday. AS us
ual there will be a number of applica-
lions for membership, and as usual
the Association will be strict in act
ing on them. Scurlock, of the Gle

come member, should send copy Of the
paper OF he is editor or publisher along with

MAyoRALrY CONTEST.
The City Council Declares Mr.. Smith
Ineligible.

After TOUR hours argument, the city
council decided last night that Mr..
Ed G. Smith was ineligible and had
no right to contest tho election Of
Mayor Conner. Aldermen Mahoney,
Mitchell, Peterman and Kivlen were
outvoted by the remaining eight men,
bers of the board. The ground of
this decision was that the contestant
was in arrears to the city, not having
paid a portion of his taxes for 1875,
the law providing that no person is
eligible who is in arrears to the city.
1t was contended by Mr.. Smiths at
torneys that the failure to pay.thc tax
was an oversight of the collector for
which Mr.. Smith was not ut all re-
sponsible, and that he paid all of said
tax some time since, before the contest
had been fairly commenced, and in
time, under the law, to qualify him for
the office. The discussion was inter-
esting and, at times, very heated.

The Waco Examiner does get of Il
good thing every once in while. Its
latest is:
Drug store whiskey kills as does drug
store strychnine.
Exactly. The drug store is just
where the pros want to put whisky
alongside of sttychnine and opium.
Whlskey is a more damaging poison
than either because it has sort of hap
DIV (?) effect, and is tempting, and
thereby in more demand than opium
or strychnine in fact strychnine
is now only used TO kill the other fell
low with; while whisky has double,
reactory effect, shooting from the
muzzle and kicking the operator from
the butt end. Yes, Mr.. Examiner, you
have classed whisky correctly once,
with strychnine in drug stores. They
are sometimes used profitably as
medicine, but because of their eX-
IRENE dancer when taken in over
doses, should be sold only on physi-
clans prescription to responsible par
ties and under the brand of "poison. "
OF course if an opium eater or de-
signing murderer misrepresents facts
in order to obtain those drugs, or a
whisky drinker aided by a doctor re-
sorts to falsehood to get whisky, why
they cannot be prevented easily; hut
the saloons will be abolished, and
there are thousands, neary millions,
who will be saved from its evil effects
because of the honor of men who will
not resort to lying and perjury to Sc
cure that which the law would pro-
hibit.

same time, it is very important coin

the power, growing out OF its inherent
right of self preservation to pass a
law forbidding to the citizen direct tho
use of any means that will destroy his
life, or that will disable him, or that
is calculated to do either. And the
State must be the sole judge as to
what these prohibiting things shall be-
Who else is there to decide? Is this
sumptuary legislation If 1t be so,
then the government has n right to
pass a sumptuary law even if 1t be
necessary in order to save itself.
Where is the bill of rights, where the
constitution, Federal or State, restrain
ing the legislature in such matter as
this? 1t does not exist.
2. The State may pass law prohib-
iting one from destroying or disa-
bling a citizen even with his consent,
or by his request. And it may make
no difference what means the slayer
NAV use. 1t can make no difference
that the slayer has no malice. 1t will
be no excuse that the killing Is done
for pastime, or that it is done FOR the
victims money only. AS in the other
case, it can make no difference wheth-
er the killing is done with
powder or poison, club or
chloroform. bullet or bottle, lead or
LIQUOR. IL is murder strictly or may
hem, as the case may be. And has not
society a right to protect itself
through its law-making power? How
can there be doubt or argument
against the exercise such right on
the part of the State? The govern
ment can have no higher duty than to
take care of its eubjects--to take care
of the old and feeble, the strong and
the weak, the men, women and chill
dren within its jurisdiction.
What sort of government is that
which allows one man to Kill and dis
able great many other men with i'm
punity without remonst,ance! Nay,
what sort of government is that
which divides by contract part OF
the spoils with the slayer-the price
of blood?
There is not one single law in any
criminal code which is not prohibilo-
ry, and many in the civil code are OF
the same nature. All such laws re-
strain men from doing certain things,
and by that much deprive them OF
their liberty. Who complains of this?
The green grocer is prohibited from
selling unwholesome vegetables. The
butcher is forbidden to sell spoiled
meats. The merchant is prohibited
from selling pistols, or cartridges for
them. What is there so sacred, or so
pure, or so good about the liquor
seller that he should be protected in
his traffic?
Thank God the people of this coun-
try are getting tired of this nefarious
bargain between the State and the
whisky seller. They are tired OF pay
ing the enormous taxes caused by the
sale and use of intoxicating drinks.
The strong men of this land have seen
the tears and heard the wall ofthe wild
ow and orphan, and are rising in their
majesty to put stop to 1t. The peo.
PIE have even now got the demon by
the throat, and they will not LET go till

High-Priced Undcrtakers Who Grow
Quite Rich Through the Pride OF
the Poor.

Quite Rich Through the Pride OF
the Poor.
The other day as was passing
through the poorer quarter OF the city
/ met an uncanny little white hearse
driven by a tough-looking citizen who
wore black stove-pipe hat smoked
cheap grocery store cigar and diffus cd
a general air of toughness and rum.
Inside the hearse was tiny white
coffin that was pitiful to look upon.
Ten carriages followed the hearse and
were filed with Italian laborers dress
ed in their blouses and overalls They
smoked pipes and lolled out of the
windows.
The baby, learned from police
man with whomI fell in conversation,
was exactly one day old. His mother
was a ragpicker. The cost of the fun
eral was not less than 800. The poor
of New York are the most extravagant
people in the world in the manage
ment of their funerals, though they are
reasonably careful about other expen-
ditures. When death occurs the
hawks descend upon the house in ilocks.
The richest undertakers are in the
tenement-house districts and they have
agents and wires innumerable. Many
of them count their fortunes in six
figures, though they live in squalor
and apparent poverty. They own liv'
cry stables, grog shops and tenement
houses, and every tenant, employe and
political "heeler" is expected to work
for the undertaken who patronizes him.
The manufactures of notices, wreaths,
shrouds, memorial pictures, wax
flowers, texts and all the other CATCH
penny devices and schemes that hang
upon human WOO are in close accord
with the undertaken. They manage to
milk the teat with vengeance when
they once begin.
The undertakers extend their lines
across the river and out to Calvary
Cemetry, on the outskirts of Brook
lyn. Here the tenement-house dead
are buried, cofli n on top of co fin, till
as many as six bodies rest in one grave.
All along the dusty road to the grave
yard is rumshops and beer saloons
mere speculations on the part of the
undertakers. Their drivers stop at
these places in turn on their way to
and from the grave, and thus keep
business booming, AS many as one
hundred and fifty funerals day pass
over the Thirty-fourth street ferry on
The way to this burying-place of the
lead. An average of ten carriages to
funeral, and counting four mourn
,rs" and the driver to each carriage,
makes between seven aud eight thous-
and of people day for the undertake
,rs and their agents along the line to
draw money from.
When death occurs in the fam
ly of one of the local politicians
the funeral takes on air of a fes-
.ival or picnic, and the whole ward
turns out to do honor to the
lead The rich undertakors of New
York are legion in the poorer dis
lricts. Uptown it is the custom to
conduct funerals with extraordinary
privacy and when the ceremony can be
performed in country house the dead
S conveyed out of town without any
lormalities at all. The one idea OF
poor New York is to make show Of
The dead, when rich New York abhors

pakota,s Declarations.

HURON, Oak, July 14.-Following is
a synopsis of resolutions adopted by the
division and admission convention: 1--WE
are unalterably opposed to admission as a
whole; we declare for division on the
seventh standard parallel; we urge the
importance of a full vote on this question.
The convention afirms the right of the
people about to be admitted to the Union
to designate their state boundaries, sub
iect to modification by congress, with their
consent. All considerations unite in die
tating the division in accordance with the
plan submitted by the act of territorial
legislature TO the suffrage Of the people
in November, 1887. We protest against
the tyranny Of congress in refusing adj
mission, and appeal TO the people of the
Union for support. We approve the
efforts of Senator Dawes and others to
secure the opening of the great Sioux
reservation, and ask the president and
secretary Of the interior to recommend to
the tftieth congress the passage of a meas
ure provisioning for the opening
for settlement of the reservation. A
committee was chosen to confer with
North Dakota.
The convention then adjourned.
